    LEGALLY BLONDE - The First Ten Pages

    It's an ILLEGAL First Ten Pages THREEWAY! A wild Book-Script-Movie party! With Elle Woods coming back to streaming, it seemed like a great time for LEGALLY BLONDE, a script read, a book read, and a movie watch! Was Elle Woods a smarter-than-she-looks genius in every iteration?! The answer will surprise you! (It's no. The answer's no.) Come for the world of Legally Blonde and Elle Woods, stay for my amazing voice work of the all-female cast of the movie! Then judge me for it!!

    The feature script for SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE breakout characters THE BLUES BROTHERS, Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, was one of the funniest, bluesiest, car-crashiest movies ever! Screenplay by Aykroyd and directed by John Landis, who also honed the SNL performer's script down to a manageable size (the original screenplay was more than 300 pages long!), the big question remains: Is The Blues Brothers script any good?

    THE MUPPET MOVIE - The First 10 Pages

    Is the script for The Muppet Movie as manic, insane and sophisticated as the Muppets themselves? The answer is shocking! (It's no.) The first 10 pages for the 1979 original Muppet movie screenplay is strictly for kiddies. How can it be? And why is Gonzo hopping mad? Hear him tell you...along with Kermit, Animal, Miss Piggy, & Beaker.* TO SKIP the script read, go to: 16:50. This episode SOUNDS BEST with earphones. The First Ten Pages podcast. Welcome.
